The presenters said that the significant of donors is that all of the donors are heros. Not just super heros, but heros that save their lives with their blood! It is sooo... IMPERATIVE that some people become blood donors because they can save the lives of our people and the decreasing of the organisms.

It is imperative that some people donate blood to someone in need so that a lot of people don't die.
That is why at the assembly was even here so that you can be a hero and save lives.No negotiating,just tell your mom or dad to be a donor and donate blood even
if they say no at least you tried and you might not achieve a prize ,but you tried to conserve a persons' life.Ubie is made so kids understand what is going on. Some really smart kids still might not know what is going on without Ubie.

People should become blood donors to donate blood to those people who are dying at the hospital and those exusted brave doctor's trying to save dying people. That's why the 16 or older should donate blood to those people who are dying.

The significance of donors are that if the people that went to the assembly all were donors they could save 300 lives. And it is imperative that you become a blood donor because you could become a hero and save millions of people. They need someone to stand up and hep others. You should also become a hero because they are running out. Some people are nervous to become a blood donor because they might think that giving is not fair because they think they would get way less than the other person that might die if no one helps, and stands up to the plate.

How it is imperative that people donate blood (donor) because if WE didn't donate blood people would suffer, and die ( If people are lucky they will live) from not donating blood. Plus if people donated blood people won't have to suffer from trying to live because WE saved their lives. Also if they live, and they are YOUR relatives they will be so incredulous that you saved their live. If you could be a donor when you grow up your a life savor! So please be a donor. People need blood!

When the assembly was over, the presenters told us why the donors where so significant because, the people were giving blood to people who needed blood for cancer and car accident or maybe bleeding a lot and they can become heros for the people who need blood and plus the people who need blood might be overwhelmed. And it is imperative for the people to donate blood because the United Blood Services are running out of blood.So thats why people should donate blood and the service good luck having luck for people to come to your blood thing at Ponderosa school ; ].

They said that the significance of donors is that they have 5% of people give blood to people who need it. It is important because people need blood in order to survive, and need it so they will live a normal life. My dad is a donor and he gives blood to people in need. I bet they are thankful to have blood in there body and live. We need to have more donors to give blood! The human race lies in kids hands and we also need to keep are parents giving blood 72 days per year! If not, we'll do it when we're 16 and save humanity. My cousins dad works for the united blood service and helps people give blood for the entire nation.
